What happens if an employee is out on a leave of absence when performance evaluations, either the six-month or the annual, are due?
If an employee is out on an approved leave of absence during the six-month introductory period, the supervisor should communicate with Human Resources and extend the introductory period accordingly. If an employee is on LOA during the annual process, the evaluation can either be completed early (if the leave was anticipated) or after the employee’s return to work. An employee’s leave of absence is not a valid reason for not completing a performance evaluation.
